  1. In January 2010 a beautiful amazing woman and mother of two lost the fight against cervical cancer. The fight was short yet inspirational and courageous. This beautiful woman was only 34 and was in the prime of her life, enjoying spending time with her children and a husband who cherished each day with her. This amazing woman was my wife Melissa Jane Ellis.

    How life can change so quickly. One day we were your typical family of four, looking forward to seeing our children grow up and develop into fine adults. Yet Tayla (age 12) and Hudson (age 4) have now had to endure what no child of that age ever should – the loss of their mother.

    After returning from a family holiday in Queensland, with Melissa exhibiting unusual symptoms, we went to our local emergency department. Two weeks later after an appointment with a specialist, we found ourselves travelling to Melbourne for tests and an operation to examine the symptoms.

  2. With the number of women having regular Pap tests still well down on where they should be, I find myself continuing the battle of awareness and prevention of this hideous disease, with the clear and distinct goal in my mind that children should not have to experience what our children have had to.

    It may seem strange to have a man raising awareness about the importance of Pap tests, and their role in preventing cervical cancer, yet it’s a passion I hold close to my heart. I strongly believe that husbands, fathers, sons and brothers can play a bigger role in the fight against this disease.

    Throughout this story, I’ve made references to ‘our story’, ‘we’ and ‘us’ – because although my wife Melissa was the patient, at no point in time was she travelling this road alone. It was a road that we travelled together. Unfortunately, that road is now a little lonelier with Melissa gone.

    I’m sure there’s a reason for Melissa being taken away from us – someday that message may be a little clearer. It may be to help someone else, which would make sense, because she was the most selfless person I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing.
